I'd probably knock you down to $75 if you were happy with that? If so, I can definitely wait until May - no rush - it will make life a lot easier in arranging delivery/collection. :)
Thanks for your help!

Finally got the 2 player control panel cut and drilled (still need to do the Track Ball hole, battery died). Going to cut the 4 player panel tomorrow.
Test Fitting on my cabinet. The 2 player is for the work cabinet.
It's a direct size replacement for the original....fits good. Still needs a little sanding
Threw the buttons in to see how it looked. If you look closely, you can see a small hole in the middle, track-ball pilot hole

Updates again tomorrow night.

So..........
Only a year later and here's another update :)
Moved into a new position at work, and ended up traveling around the world a couple times a month. Needless to say, the machines got put on the back-burner. Now that the traveling is done, I finally started moving ahead again.
My home machine is almost complete. Only thing left is cosmetics.(Marquee, graphics, trim)
Ended up going with Maximus Arcade as a front end, and am very happy I did. I tried out pretty much every one out there, and Maximus did everything I wanted to, and was easy enough for my kids to navigate around(6 kids.....6 to 19). The only thing I changed, was to make mine a 2 player and not a 4 player.
Here are some pics........
Finished control panel
Control Panel wiring almost complete
Control Panel in place
Up and running!!
So that's where I'm at. The kids are loving it, and it works great. Ordered a new Marquee and some new t-molding, should be able to get everything finished up next weekend.
Also, I have the Tekken 3 Jamma board, Marquee and monitor trim pieces that show all the fighters/moves for sale in the "for sale" forum.
